Xx July 1999 AGE -NC Project No. 99-0557 Page 4 of 8 Soil samples collected from hydraulic lift locations P-6 and P-12 were additionally analyzed for: PCBs by EPA Method 8080. 4.3. GROUND WATER SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Ground water samples were collected from soil probe borings P-6, P-12, and P-17. Ground water table was encountered at approximately 13 feet bsg. Ground water samples were collected from the top of the ground water table in probe borings P-6 and P-12 at a sampling interval of 13 to 18 feet bsg. A ground water sample was collected from boring P-12 at a sampling interval of 11 to 16 feet bsg. Ground water sample collection procedures are presented in Appendix A. The ground water samples were submitted to MAI and analyzed for: BTEX by EPA Method 8020; and TPH-g, TPH-d, and TPH-mo by EPA Method 8015 Modified/5030. The ground water sample collected from the former gasoline UST location (P-17) was additionally analyzed for: Fuel oxygenating compound - MTBE by EPA Method 8260. 5.0. FINDINGS Discussion of shallow subsurface soil profile observed at the site, as well as soil and ground water analytical results are presented below. 5.1. SHALLOW SUBSURFACE SOIL PROFILE Shallow subsurface soil at the site appears to consist primarily of coarse -grain deposits of sand with silt from ground surface to approximately 15.5 feet bsg. Fine-grained deposits consisting of silty clay with sand and silty clay/clayey silt were encountered at approximately 25 to 30 feet bsg. Logs of the soil probe borings are presented in Appendix B. Petroleum hydrocarbon discoloration, odor, and/or OVM readings above background levels were only observed for soil samples collected from soil probe boring P-6. The highest OVM reading of 5.6 parts per million (ppm) was measured for a soil sample collected from soil boring P-6 at Advanced GeoEnvironmental, Inc.
